Pond Quay Restaurant

Ate here after waiting to order at the bar for 20 mnutes, I kid you not. The food came 57 minutes later with a wrong order and no cutlery. Shame the service didn’t live upto the new style. And may I ask why you have blocked the fabulous views from the windows on this waterfront establishment?

one of the better bars in the area and next door to a small hotel. Decent food too.

For a Beefeater, this is a very well laid out and posh looking restaurant/​bar. It is connected to a hotel. As you step in there is a bar where you can enjoy a pre dinner drink or just a drink with friends after work. The restaurant is upstairs and can seat quite a lot. The menu is well laid out and has good food in all the sections. The service is very good with staff who are interested in their job and serving. The food is well laid out and presented and overall this is a nice place to eat for a family meal or a quiet one with your partner.

One of only a handful of pubs in Salford Quays, the area being saturated with office blocks and trendy apartments.
This one is a Beefeater pub/​restaurant attached to a Premier Inn. It’s the pub of choice for a number of the businesses that reside nearby and also for United games — as its a bit further away from Old Trafford than other bars, it’s a little bit quieter on match days.
They’ve got standard lagers and ciders on tap and a spirit and wine collection behind the bar, and ok Beefeater pub food. It also has benches and tables outside which is great for looking over the Quays on nice days.
It’s nowt special but it’s a decent pub to go for a quiet pint

I work nearby, so the Quay house is a nice place to go for a special work lunch or something. The prices aren’t too high, you can pay by card, and there’s a nice place to sit outside in the summer by the water. Would definitely recommend sitting out there on a sunny afternoon! In the winter it is nice and cosy inside, although if you need to pay by cash you will need to get some beforehand as the nearest cash point is in the Lowry. Easy to get to from Anchorage tram stop or if you have been shopping at the Lowry, or even to a match at Old Trafford! The staff have always been really friendly with me no complaints here!

We went here for a meal one evening after watching a film at the RED cinema.
It was expected. The atmosphere is nice, the staff are running round like headless chickens and its normally busy.
The food is standard, I wouldn’t say it was anything special and it is nice, the prices are reasonable.
I feel that I have not a lot to say but thats because its not a bad place, nor is it an exceptionally good place Its one of those places where you have this conversation back in the car.
Did you enjoy that?
Yeah
Would you go again?

In Salford Quay there is an shopping centre called the Lowry. This is quite a but big discount shopping centre that is very central. It is on 2 floors and has a massive amount of shops, I once lived fairly close to here so every now and then I would go up and do some shopping. For me this is not an overly great shopping centre, it does have some fairly decent shops but not many of them are branded and aimed at someone in their 20′ like me. I think I would prefer it if it had many a top man or a river island but it doesn’t have anything like this. It is a discount mall so some of the products are meant to be fairly cheap but I really don’t see it. I think if you go into Manchester then there is a chance you will find better bargains if you shop around. In saying that it is situated nicely on te4h canal and it is a nice day out in the summer.

I prefer this to the Bar & Grill which is also at the Quays, even though it isn’t as close to a tram stop. It’s close to the Lowry Outlet Mall and there’s a Premier Inn right next to it.
The downstairs area is pretty relaxed, with sofas as well as the usual dining type tables & chairs and does bar meals. Upstairs is a restaurant with a more extensive menu. I’ve not eaten upstairs but it always seems to be popular, especially over the weekend. The (downstairs) food is what you’d expect from a Beefeater: nothing to rave about but absolutely nothing wrong with it — and if you eat early, you can get the food cheaper. Can’t complain about that in these credit crunch times!
The staff is always friendly and articulate and the atmosphere is pleasant.
There’s a seating area outside with picnic benches so you can look out over the water (if the weather’s nice or you just want a cigarette).
Bad points? Well, the tables can be sticky (no wiping between customers) and glasses aren’t always cleared away so, if you’re the lazy kind of person who can’t be bothered to take their empties back to the bar when they are ordering more drinks, you may find yourself with a full table of glasses & bottles (if you’re in a group and/​or a very fast drinker).
Oh, and whoever put the apostrophe in Glady’s (sic) name badge should be shot. Or at least slapped very hard. Seriously, an apostrophe on a name badge? And she’s such a nice person. Management: please, please get her a corrected name badge. It’s making me sad inside.
4 out of 5 due to the sticky tables. And the one toilet door that doesn’t lock in the ladies.

The Beefeater quay house is situated near the Lowry outlet Mall on Quay Street, Salford Quays. The atmosphere in this bar during the week is casual, not many locals every one is business class or residents of the travel lodge which is next door, the bar is open until 11pm the seating area is cosy sofas, Table and chairs it has a fantastic restaurant above ranging from budget to pricey and they also do bar meals. The staff are friendly and are a nice team.
